Hi,
My name is Costas and here are my first questions.
I’m mostly having super fun playing drums finally in my apartment with a real kit so i haven’t been much into melody, sounds and stuff. But i’m having a bit of a trouble with the HiHat sensitivity and some re-triggering or mistriggering in the snare mostly.
So even though it’s a silent kit i’m playing very lightly since i live in an apartment building. This seems to confuse the HiHat a bit mostly in the open/close which i don’t put a lot of pressure in the pedal. I’ve tried to tweak the HiHat Range without much success. I can’t seem to find that sweet spot. Can someone assist me and explain to me what’s going on when i move the open/cross/close sliders. I don’t get the positions.
Another question is, does the tension of the mesh heads affect the triggering of the sounds? Does it need to be tight, loose or normal to get the best result? and again with what kind of hitting? I get false hits every now and then mostly in the snare. I hit the snare and in the same zone that i’m listening the snare hit i suddenly trigger a cross-stick. Some kits react better than others though. I’ve trained the drums like 3-4 times and excluded zones also.
Another issue that i have is that when i bought the mesh heads, they didn’t have an evans head for my kick and floor tom so i bought a dixon one which is nice but is a double mesh and i think that causes confusion to the sensors, only in floor - kick is fine. Can you confirm that?
Thank you
Costas
